Figure 4. CaVβ subunits do not enhance the total expression of CaV1.2e21+22 channels.

Figure 4

HA-CaV1.2e22 or CaV1.2e21+22 were co-transfected with α2δ and β2a subunit in HEK293 cells with or without MG132 treatment. β2a subunit was cloned in pIRES2-EGFP (as an indicator of β2a subunit expression). Immunostaining of total CaV1.2 channels and confocal imaging were performed after 48 h transfection. (A) β2a subunit-expressing cells showed up-regulation of total HA-CaV1.2e22 channels with or without MG132 treatment, compared to cells not expressing β2a subunits. (B) Total CaV1.2e21+22 channels were not markedly altered in β2a subunit-expressing cells with or without MG132 treatment. Scale bar, 20 μm.
